Tasha sat in the back seat of the car, the cool leather of the seat pressing against her as she looked at her reflection in the window. Ethan was beside her, still adjusting his small suit, looking every bit the part of the adorable little gentleman he was. His excitement filled the car as he chattered non-stop about how much he was looking forward to the wedding.

“Mom, I can’t wait to see Dad!” he said with a grin, tugging at his bow tie again, his small hands uncoordinated but determined.

Tasha glanced down at him, her lips curling into a soft smile despite the knot in her stomach. Ethan was so innocent in his excitement, and she couldn’t bring herself to tell him the complicated emotions swirling inside her. She had tried to push the thoughts of Daniel out of her mind, but the weight of his presence at the wedding, his role as best man, kept creeping in.

“Dad looks so cool in his suit, right?” Ethan continued, practic

    After the ceremony, the crowd gathered at the grand reception hall, where laughter and chatter filled the air. The newlyweds, Stanley and Rebecca, stood at the center of the room, greeting their guests with wide smiles. Rebecca, radiant in her wedding dress, held Stanley’s hand tightly, the glow of their love undeniable. Tasha took a deep breath, smoothing her gown as she approached them. Ethan was by her side, tugging her along eagerly. “Come on, Mom! Let’s go say hi to Uncle Stanley!” he said, his excitement contagious. When they reached the couple, Stanley’s face lit up. “Tasha!” he exclaimed, pulling her into a warm hug. “You made it! And looking stunning, as always.” Tasha chuckled softly, her hand resting on his arm. “Congratulations, Stanley. You look happy, and that’s all that matters.” Stanley grinned, his eyes shining with genuine joy. “Happiest I’ve ever been. Thank yo

    After her dance with Ethan, Tasha excused herself, making her way to the restroom. Daniel’s eyes followed her, his concern deepening as he noticed her unsteady steps. He stood by the side of the room, waiting for her to return. Minutes passed, and Tasha hadn’t come back. Daniel’s jaw tightened, his worry growing. Without hesitation, he moved closer to the restroom door, hanging around inconspicuously. When she finally emerged, his breath caught. Tasha looked worse, her face pale, beads of sweat glistening on her forehead. She pressed a hand against the wall for balance, her movements sluggish. “Tasha,” Daniel said sharply, stepping forward. “I’m fine,” she muttered, waving him off weakly, but her voice lacked conviction. “No, you’re not,” Daniel said firmly, gently taking her elbow to steady her. “You’re burning up. You need rest.”

    Ethan disappeared down the hallway again, his excited footsteps echoing as he explored the house. Daniel’s eyes lingered on Tasha, her face pale but her gaze sharp despite her exhaustion. “I’m sorry about the other night,” Daniel began, his voice measured. Tasha’s lips curled into a bitter smile, her tone low and laced with sarcasm. “The other night, huh?” She leaned forward slightly, her elbows resting on her knees. “What other night, Daniel? The other night you hurt me to be with your mistress?” The room went utterly silent, the kind of silence that felt suffocating. Daniel’s jaw tightened, his eyes flickering with something unreadable. “That’s not how it happened,” he said finally, his voice steady but strained. “Then tell me what did,” Tasha shot back, her voice rising. “Becaus

    Daniel felt Ethan’s grip on his hand tighten as they entered the guest room. “Can you stay with me and Mom? I don’t want her to be alone,” the boy said softly. Daniel knelt beside him, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. “I’ll stay next to you. How about this, you sleep beside Mom, and I’ll be right next to you. Does that sound good?” Ethan nodded, his worries easing slightly. Daniel helped him climb into the bed, tucking him in beside Tasha. As Ethan settled down, Tasha’s phone began to ring from the bedside table. Daniel reached for it, seeing Robbin’s name flash across the screen. With a sigh, he declined the call and quickly texted: I’ll be home soon. Don’t worry. Ethan’s with me, and we’re okay. Satisfied, he placed the phone back on the table and turned his attention to Ethan, who was already starting to doze off, his

    Ethan hesitated, glancing between them, but nodded and left the room Tasha exhaled shakily, brushing a hand over her face. “You should’ve told me, Daniel. I deserved to know.” Daniel took a step closer. “Tasha, I—” She shook her head, cutting him off. “You think you can just decide things for me because it’s what you think is right? I would have made the same choice, Daniel, but I deserved to be part of it.” “Tasha, it wasn’t about shutting you out,” he said, his voice low. “It was about keeping you safe, about making sure you’d survive. That was all that mattered to me.” Her voice cracked as she continued, tears pooling in her eyes. “But don’t you understand how it feels to wake up and find out someone did something so... so huge for you, and you didn’t even know?” Her words hit him like a p

    As the car pulled into Tasha’s estate, the headlights illuminated Robbin, who was pacing back and forth near the entrance. He stopped abruptly as he saw the car door open, his face etched with concern. “Where have you been?” Robbin’s voice was sharp, a mix of worry and frustration. “You had me so worried, Tasha.” Tasha stepped out of the car, her expression neutral. She didn’t immediately respond, instead glancing at Rose, who was already approaching. “Rose,” Tasha said, her voice firm but tired, “please take Ethan inside.” Rose took Ethan’s hand gently. “Come on, Ethan. Let’s get you settled.” Ethan nodded reluctantly, glancing back at his mom and Robbin as Rose led him inside. Once they were out of earshot, Robbin crossed his arms, his frown deepening. “

    The next day. Claire walked into the living room, her heels clicking softly against the floor as she made her way toward Tasha, who was sitting on the couch, deep in thought. The tension in the air was palpable, but Claire could see that Tasha had been through a lot lately. "Hey, how are you holding up?" Claire asked, her voice gentle but with an underlying concern. Tasha looked up, forcing a smile. "I'm fine, Claire. Just... a lot on my mind." Claire took a seat next to her, "Well, I have some gossip to lighten the mood, if you're interested." Tasha raised an eyebrow. "Gossip? Go ahead." "Okay, so you won’t believe this," Claire started, leaning in slightly. "Vanessa got fired." Tasha blinked, surprised. "What? Vanessa? Fired? By who?" "Vivienne," Claire replied, a smirk playing on her lips. "Apparently, Vivienne had enough of her antics

    An hour later, the doorbell rang. Daniel opened it, and there she was, Vanessa, standing in front of him, wearing a short skirt that revealed most of her legs, her posture confident and knowing. "Daniel," she purred, stepping closer with an almost predatory grace. "I see you missed me." Before he could respond, she closed the gap between them, wrapping her arms around him in a hug. Daniel didn’t move an inch, his face expressionless. He wasn’t here for games, not today. Daniel’s jaw tightened as Vanessa leaned in closer, her eyes glinting with mischief. “Take a seat, Vanessa,” he said calmly, stepping back and gesturing to the living room. She raised an eyebrow but complied, sitting down on the couch with a slight smirk on her face. "You know, I didn’t expect you to be so... business-li

    As they finished their meal, Claire leaned back in her seat, a sly smile spreading across her face. Tasha noticed the glint in her eyes, the kind of glimmer that always appeared when Claire was up to something.“So, you’ve been awfully quiet lately,” Tasha remarked, raising an eyebrow. “I’m guessing there’s something you’re not telling me.”Claire let out a soft laugh, swirling the ice in her glass. “Maybe. You know, I’ve been seeing someone.”Tasha’s eyes widened in surprise. “Wait, what? You? Seeing someone?”“Shocking, right?” Claire teased, her lips curling into a smile. “But yeah, I’ve been spending some time with a guy. His name’s Kyle. He’s a friend of one of my college classmates. I didn’t expect it to turn into anything, but... I don’t know. He’s different.”Tasha leaned forward, her curiosity piqued. “What’s so different about him?”Claire shrugged, her cheeks slightly flushed. “I don’t know. It’s just... easy with him. We can talk for hours about anything and everything, an

    The morning sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Tasha’s office, illuminating the space with a soft glow. She adjusted her blazer as she settled into her chair, staring at the untouched stack of files on her desk. Returning to work had felt like a monumental decision, especially with everything happening in her personal life, but Tasha had always found solace in staying busy. A knock on the door broke her reverie. "Come in," she called, her tone steady. The door opened to reveal Vivienne, her sharp features softened with a polite smile. "Good morning, Tasha. How’s it feel being back?" Tasha leaned back in her chair, folding her arms. "Mixed emotions, honestly. But it’s good to see things running smoothly. You've been doing a great job holding down the fort." Vivienne took a seat across from her, crossing one leg over the other. "Thank you, but we’ve missed your leadership. Your insight has always been invaluable." Tasha chuckled softly. "I’m sure you’ve

    As they arrived at the ice cream shop, Ethan raced ahead, pressing his face against the glass display to marvel at the array of flavors. His excitement was infectious, and Tasha couldn’t help but smile.“Alright, Ethan,” she said, catching up to him. “What’s it going to be?”“Chocolate chip!” Ethan exclaimed, practically bouncing on his toes.Tasha chuckled. “Good choice.” She glanced at Robbin. “And for you?”“Vanilla,” he replied with a shrug. “I’m simple like that.”Tasha smirked. “Boring, you mean.”“Classic,” Robbin corrected with a grin.As they placed their orders, Tasha noticed Robbin glancing at her thoughtfully. She arched a brow. “What now?”“Nothing,” he said, holding up his hands in mock surrender. “Just… you seem lighter today. Happier.”She hesitated, looking down at the counter. “Maybe I am. Or maybe I’m just trying to enjoy the moment for Ethan’s sake.”Robbin nodded, his expression softening. “Whatever it is, it’s good to see.”They found a table near the window, Eth

    As they sat on the bench, the soft hum of children's laughter and the occasional squeak of swings filled the air. Ethan was running around with a group of kids, his joy infectious even from a distance. Robbin leaned back, arms stretched along the backrest, his eyes scanning the park. After a moment of silence, he turned to Tasha. “So, is there anything going on between you and Daniel?” Tasha tensed but kept her gaze fixed on Ethan. "Why would you ask that?" Robbin gave a low chuckle. “Don’t play coy, Tasha. The guy’s been hanging around a lot lately. People notice.” She sighed, finally looking at him. "And by people, you mean you." He smirked. "Naturally. Can’t help but notice when a guy like Daniel is lurking around the woman I care about." Tasha narrowed her eyes. "He’s Ethan’s father, Robbin. He has a right to be around." Robbin scoffed, sitting up straighter. "A right? That man forfeited any ‘rights’ the moment he walked out on you, on Ethan." Tasha’s jaw tightened, her vo

    The next day, Tasha woke up with a lingering headache, the events of the previous night still fresh in her mind. She had barely slept, tossing and turning as her thoughts swirled. The alcohol, her argument with Daniel, the confrontation with Robbin all of it seemed so distant yet so real, like a weight pressing down on her chest. As she sat up, trying to shake off the grogginess, she realized that everything felt different. The house was eerily quiet, and for a moment, she wondered if it was all just a bad dream. But the pain in her head told her otherwise. Robbin had been there last night, a steady presence in the chaos, and as much as she appreciated his support, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being pulled in two different directions. Daniel’s words echoed in her mind—I still love you, Tasha. And yet, with everything that had happened, she wasn’t sure what love really meant anymore. She rubbed her temples, trying to focus. The silence in the house was deafening, a

    She swallowed hard, her chest tight with emotion. She nodded slowly, and with that simple action, the door opened and she stepped inside, Daniel following her in. “I’m here,” he said again, his voice steady. “For whatever you need.” Robbin rushed down the stairs, his footsteps heavy and hurried, his mind racing with anger. He had been pacing upstairs, trying to calm himself, but the sight of Daniel and Tasha talking, her slurring her words and leaning on him for support, snapped whatever control he had left. He reached the bottom of the stairs and saw them right away Tasha, standing there, visibly unsteady, leaning against Daniel as though he was the only thing holding her together. His eyes narrowed as he marched toward them. “Tasha!” he shouted, his voice sharp and filled with frustration. “What the hell do you think you’re doing? You’re drunk!” Before Daniel could respond, Robbin reached him in two strides, his hand gripping Daniel’s shirt as he shoved him back against th

    Tasha sat alone in her living room, staring blankly at the empty glass on the coffee table. She had spent the day pacing between thoughts and emotions that felt too heavy to carry. The weight of her decisions, of everything that had been happening lately, felt suffocating. Robbin's calls and constant presence now felt distant, while Daniel's silence echoed in her mind. What did she really want? What was she doing? Her fingers hovered over the phone as she typed out a message to Robbin: "I'm sorry for acting out earlier. I just couldn't help it." She paused, staring at the screen, before hitting send. Maybe it would ease the tension, or maybe it wouldn’t. But for now, she just needed to say it. Tasha stood up, her body moving on autopilot as she grabbed her coat and slipped on her shoes. The thought of staying in, of facing all the turmoil that had been building, felt too much. She needed to get away. A quick glance in the mirror she looked fine, but inside, everything felt out o

    The room was silent again, but this time it felt different more peaceful, less tense. Tasha’s heart was pounding in her chest, and the walls she’d spent so long building around herself started to crumble. The sincerity in Daniel’s eyes, the weight of his words, the rawness of his emotions, everything was pulling her in. She swallowed hard, trying to steady herself, but the intensity of the moment overwhelmed her. Without thinking, she stood up, pacing for a moment as if she could shake off the overwhelming flood of emotions that rushed through her. Her hands trembled slightly, and for a split second, she considered walking away, retreating back to the safety of her guarded heart. But then, Daniel stood up too, slowly approaching her, his eyes never leaving hers. "Tasha..." His voice was soft but filled with a depth that stopped her in her tracks. "You don’t have to be afraid of this. I’m not going anywhere." She felt the tears threatening to spill again, but this time they wer

    Tasha froze, her heart dropping at the sound of Vanessa’s voice. She turned slowly, meeting the Vanessa’s icy gaze. Vanessa stood a few feet away, looking as pristine and put together as ever, her presence demanding attention. “I didn’t realize I had to explain my actions to you,” Tasha replied coolly, her hands instinctively gripping the strap of her purse. Vanessa’s lips curled into a smirk. “Oh, you don’t have to explain. I just find it funny how you’re acting all innocent, like you don’t know what’s really going on. Daniel doesn’t love you. He never did. You’re just a distraction, something to keep him occupied until I come back into the picture.” Tasha clenched her jaw, refusing to let Vanessa see how her words affected her. “Don’t flatter yourself. Daniel doesn’t need you. You’re nothing but a nuisance.” Vanessa’s eyes flickered with annoyance, but she didn’t back down. “I’m not going anywhere, Tasha. And you might want to watch your back.
